Kim Kardashian's ex uses divorce to nab deal

Kris Humphries has time on his hands

Kris Humphries may currently be locked out of his NBA job and he may have recently been served divorce papers by Kim Kardashian, but that doesn't mean he's sitting at home devouring a tub of Ben & Jerry's all alone.

The NBA star, who has been unattached to a team after his contract with the New Jersey Nets expired, said he was delighted to sign a lucrative deal with the brand during the press conference.

Humphries even claimed the watch company was helping him get over his divorce woes, explaining, "I'm happy to be here. As you all know, this has been a difficult time in my life and I'm so grateful [for] my friends at Sector for their unwavering support."

The out-of-work power forward claimed he was the ideal person to advertise the luxury Italian watches. He said: "It truly represents who I am both on and off the court. I've been a watch and fashion lover my entire life and a competitor and the no limit tag is really about how I approach my career."

"Most of all, they really do have great watches," he added.

Humphries is expected to rake in around $150,000 for the deal, which will no doubt come in handy as he struggles to find work during the NBA lockdown.

A portion of all Sector sales will go to Humphries' charity, which helps fights childhood obesity.
